Hello everyone, I've searched the internet and cannot find help with my issue.
I want to know if I can apply for a Nigerian passport without yet being a citizen.
I was born in America but both of my parents are Nigerian. Neither of my parents have their birth certificates but my dad has a current Nigerian passport. My birth certificate also states that my parents nationality is Nigerian.
I know that since my parents are both Nigerian I'm automatically granted Nigerian citizenship but I've never applied for it.
I'm wondering if I can apply for a Nigerian passport and use my dad's passport and my birth certificate to prove my citizenship.
Any help or information would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
-Chelsea

Tot anyone born in US is a citizen?....Simply go to the nearest Nigeria embassy and enquire but be prepared for insults and snubbish attitudes! Nigerians in public service always rep wherever the are!

Google "Nigerian Consulate"..it will give you the link to Nigerian embassy website. Check passport services on the website, you have all the information you need.
